I am enjoying my last few days of my first spring break as a teacher. Before our break we were informed that we would know if there are funds in the budget for our positions when we get back. I am currently preparing my resume to begin a search for a new teaching position if I hear the bad news. HISD will inform all teachers by April 18th. My nerves are on edge now.
The school districts around my area have no postings yet and I hear they will only relocate current employees. So the search will be even more difficult than last year. Private schools may be the way to go; which means a pay cut but easier work. After substituting at private schools last year and talking with the teachers there; I realized they all "paid their dues" in the public sector. But let me say, NONE of them worked in HISD. There are public schools then there are urban schools. If you have worked in a urban school district, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
But...that is a whole other topic.
